We spend a lot of time looking at type. There’s something hypnotic about the black-and-white forms, and the complex system of type working together in the most efficient ways.
Traditionally, specimens have been a one-way street. The designer determines the format, and presents it in a way that hopefully highlights the strengths of the design. Sometimes that’s enough, but most of the time we need to touch it and play with it ourselves.

Klim, with the help of Springload, has found a way to turn this into a two-way street, making the specimen itself editable.
Yes, type testers have existed for a long time, but they are clunky, and sometimes even destroy the quality of the type in efforts to prevent unlicensed usage.
